They say that good things come to those who wait... We know many of you have been eagerly anticipating the opening of registration today for the 2026 AIN Global Conference in Rimini, Italy. And we want to start by offering our sincerest apologies for the delay. We have made the decision to move our official registration launch to Wednesday, April 1st, 2026.

We want to be very clear about why we are taking this extra time. We are working closely with our conference team to craft the best possible package and conference experience for everyone. Our priority is ensuring that every detail is in place to provide you with an unforgettable event, and these few extra days will allow us to finalize those efforts to the highest standard.

Yes, And...we realize the new date! We promise that this is not an April Fool’s joke. Registration will officially go live on April 1st.

In the meantime, we want to keep the incredible excitement going! Our Request for Proposals form is currently open! We encourage you to take this time to refine your thoughts and submit your proposals. We can’t wait to see the expertise and creativity you’ll bring to this year’s theme, The Art of Being Human.

Thank you for your patience, your excitement, and your continued passion for this network. We look forward to seeing you on the registration list very soon!
